As protesters deface and tear down monuments put up to honor great Americans, the Establishment is fighting hard to ensure that our most important societal leaders are properly respected.
That’s why I am thrilled to see that city officials and law enforcement in Delray Beach, Florida are coming down hard–with felony charges–on a 19-year-old man who defaced a street mural celebrating the rainbow alphabet people.
CALL IN THE FBI, CIA, NSA, AND DHS! Just look at the aftermath and utter devastation of this horrific crime! I’m shaking. https://t.co/kx40OpCB4I

Unfortunately for the good people of Delray Beach, doing burnouts on a painted mural in an intersection is not yet a hate crime, but the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council hopes it will become one. Until it becomes a thoughtcrime to disagree with the alphabet flag there will be no “inclusion.”
The advocacy organization, which paid $16,000 for the mural’s installation along with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, said in the statement that the vandalism should be considered a hate crime, but it is not.
Alexander Jerich, 20,of Lake Worth Beach, pleaded guilty in 2022 to the same charges Brewer is facing for defacing the mural in 2021 while driving in a birthday rally for Trump. He was sentenced to probation, which recently ended, and was ordered to write a 25-page essay about the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
Rand Hoch, president and founder of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel Jerich’s punishment was only “a slap on the wrist” and that a stricter example needs to be set in order to deter something similar from happening once again.
It is vital that monuments to our greats are preserved, which is why I am glad that we in our country are inviting barbarians to tear down statues to Dead White European Males in order to make room for celebrations of groomers and pedophiles.
🚨 Violent activists tore down dozens of statues including Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington… none were charged with any crime.

It may not yet be a hate crime in Florida to offend the alphabet gods, but at least in Iowa it is a hate crime to decapitate a statue of Satan, so great progress is being made in our country.
I don’t particularly approve of Dylan Brewer’s actions–it was reckless driving, after all–but I fail to see the necessity of painting a public street with political messages in the first place. They are placed there specifically with the intent to take sides in a cultural battle, and that isn’t something I think that city fathers should be doing.
Just as it is a nod to one group in the dispute–and I am fine with people expressing their support for a group–it is an insult to people who disagree–something with which I am not so keen.
For that matter, I don’t think cities should be making statements on live political issues such as funding for Ukraine or Israel, hating or loving Putin, or supporting political causes in general.
Streets should be for driving, and city council meetings should be about taxes and police funding. Leave the activism to activists.
But what do I know? I am a not-quite-dead White European-derived Male, so my opinion doesn’t count anymore.
